India on Monday released videos showing the damage to Pakistani military air bases during Operation Sindoor, which was launched on May 7 to avenge the deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam last month.
Addressing a press conference, Air Marshal AK Bharti, the Director General of Air Operations, first showed the Nur Khan airbase in Rawalpindi, a key site less than 10 kilometres from Islamabad and adjacent to the country’s military headquarters, being on fire following a huge explosion.
He then showed a video of extensive damage to the runway of the Rahim Yar Khan airbase in Pakistan’s Punjab.
He said that the Indian armed forces’ fight was against the terrorists, but the Pakistan military “chose to support” the terrorists, and “widened” the conflict.
Under Operation Sindoor, the Indian armed forces had targeted nine terror sites, including Markaz Taiba of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in Muridke, Markaz Subhan Allah of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) in Bahawalpur, and Hizbul Mujahideen’s Mehmoona Joya Facility in Sialkot.
India has said that more than 100 terrorists were killed in the strikes.
